In the point of making architecture dependence 10890 source packages, which Debian has already had, correspond to any architectures, I think it very good that ppc64el (powerpc64le) is added. But the advantage of ppc64el cannot understand me well yet. As Bastian has said, I want a little explanation about the advantage of little-endian PowerPC64, too. > I have been working internally at IBM on a Debian rootfs that runs on this > architecture.

I think it good that you carry out public porting at debian-ports.org as unofficial port at first. Maybe, the results at debian-ports.org will be evaluated whether ppc64el should add to official ports. Then, if ppc64el will be chosen as released port, ppc64el may go into stable.

I think that dpkg package must be made to correspond to new port, ppc64el.
